The Smithsonian American Art Museum and Cisco collaborated to help educators use technology to integrate the visual arts into their curriculum.
"I can't wait for school to start so I can jump into my lessons. I have redone my entire curriculum so that I can incorporate art into each lesson."--Malia Triggs, 5th and 6th Grade Reading and Language Arts Teacher, Rawls Springs Attendance Center, Forrest County School District, Mississippi
"The greatest benefit of arts-integrated education, according to Daft, is the increased amount of information that students remember after a lesson." “I could give them 10 worksheets, and there wouldn’t be the same retention,” said Daft. http://newsroom.cisco.com/dlls/2008/ts_090408.html
